I was kind of on the edge about ME. The reviews have been good and I've seen some demos, but every so often I'd come across a seemingly reasonable person who would decline recommending the title because of this or that legitimate reason. If I come across a used copy or a rental, I may give it a look now that it's been suggested by some one who's read about what kind of games I enjoy.
I'm not sure on the backwards compatibility. I would assume my unit can do it, maybe with some tweaking. As such a whole new world of games is open to me. I'll take a look into the reviews, Des. Thanks.
